Getting to the point straightaway: MikroWaveis in essence a "groovebox", a self-contained instrument wheremultiple sound sources (synthesizers and a single drum machine) arecontrolled by a sequencer with parameter and effects controls, toallow a musician to rapidly construct and control a pattern-basedmusical sequence.If this description boggles you, having a look at the videodemonstration should clear things up.Well suited for quickly sketching out your musical ideas when onthe move, patterns can be created in the sixteen step sequencer,with no limit to the amount of bars your composition requires.Apart from the basic waveforms there is also a secondary oscillatorwhich can be routed to different targets for harmonically enrichingyour initial sounds. You can shape the basic palette from friendlycheesy 80s trumpets via stuttering robots to totally unlistene-ablesonic mayhem. If anything, you can sure annoy people on thebus.For further improvisation there is a multi-touch keyboardallowing you to play along with the sequencer for quickly testingnew ideas. When you're pressed for time, you can save a song inprogress and return to it later for finishing your idea, or plainlyreliving your initial enthusiasm when creating that bubbly, acidbassline over that funky beat you had a brilliant destinationfor.Apart from working from your mobile device, your songs can beexported in WAV format, uploaded to SoundCloud for direct sharing,or you can export your songs as MIDI data so you can continue workon your desktop computer / other hardware devices. You can alsorecord a live performance directly onto your device.MikroWave is actively being updated, so keep your eyes peeledfor notifications to be sure you're getting all the latestfeatures.
